"Congrats to our global Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) on winning Environmental Business Journal’s 2021 award for diversity and inclusion," announced AECOM.
Award-winning Equity, Diversity & Inclusion (ED&I) initiatives
AECOM launched a robust Employee Resource Group (ERG) program with six groups worldwide: Women's Leadership Alliance, Ethnic Diversity Network (Europe), BeBOLD, Pride, Juntos and Mosaic, with plans to expand. These employee-led teams have executive-level sponsorship, formal business outcomes, and charters and by-laws, creating a sense of belonging and generating an inclusive environment.
Employees committed to advancing a specific group build an inclusive team that encourages, supports, and celebrates diverse voices, enhancing engagement, fueling innovation and creating deep connection with AECOM’s clients and markets. Activities are wide-ranging and allies are encouraged to participate.
Goals can include recruitment, retention, and professional advancement of ERG members at all levels. ERG goals are consistently met and feedback from participants has been overwhelmingly positive - the forums allow participants to better understand community challenges and better anticipate clients’ needs.
ERGs are the latest addition to AECOM’s award-winning ED&I initiatives that serve staff at all levels in forming a healthy and productive workplace home and support AECOM’s ED&I pledge, “When we feel free to be ourselves, we thrive.”
